I got through Sunless Sea & Butcher. Uber Butcher didn't count as a boss or am I wrong? Bosses usually have the health bar at the bottom. So probably only actually Act Bosses count as bosses? If that's the case, CB might be back in business.


Not sure. I've done all the ubers up to lvl 120 requirement with my trap rat without much trouble. And my gear isn't that great (all runewords)

I'm having a hard time with a few of the 115s, but I just wanted to say that I just killed BPR and he dropped a helm called: Coldhunger. That's pretty good for trap rat, right? Also, what jewelry you recommend?

Cold hunger is great. Synergies with cold pierce on brc skill too. Hold onto natha helm in case you need the extra physical resist.

For jewelry I use random 1sk rings and 4sk ammy. On-kill procs are always nice too. I haven't had any good unique jewelry drop. I'd love some luckied empyrean bands.

I just killed Azmodan and Primus. Azmodan was a chore, but he went down. I have some RW gear, nothing fancy. I haven't had any luck with jewelry at all, don't even have +skills on mine RIP.
